SEATTLE, Waih., Slay 16. James A.
lUltton, a 70-year-old man arrested In
Portland on opium smuggling charges,
testified at his trial today to wholesale
trafflo In opium In tho Paclflo northwest,
with several customs officials cognisant
at the business. ' - .
Ralston admitted his own guilt, but de
clared Charlie Louie, a Chinese, Joint de
fendant on the charge of conspiracy to
smuggle opium, to be Innocent
nalston asserted that all the manipula
tions of the opium ring had been coil
ducted by Henry Wellman, a mysterious
peron,whose address was 60S New York
block, Wellman, tie said,, had' been ro
sponsible for the fixing of the customs
men.
All Sold at "Wholesale,
"It was our custom," Ralston said, "to
carry samples of small lots of opium,
taken from big consignments. These
samples would bo considered by the cus
tomer Just like other merchandise sam
ples, and If they were up to grade ordeis
for large shipments would follow. We
never retailed the drug."
Ralston said the opium all came from
China and that Wellman had. told him
customs Inspectors would pass It off the
steamers.
When it arrived In Seattle It would be
secreted In various places, he said,
"sometimes In my room. I had In rny
room a number of opium Jackets with
pockets running around the sides. When
ever a big consignment of opium came
In, a bunch of Chinese would, call nnd
get tthe Jackets. With them they brought
the opium ashore."
Cbarlle Louie Head of tinnir.
United Etatts Attorney Sullivan In. his
address to the Jury declared that tho
mysterious Wellman was no other than
Charlie Ixmle himself."

eneral MoReynolds has reached a ti'-
tatlve decision that the Central Pacific
should be divorced from tha Southern Pa
clflo In the dissolution of the Union Pa
cific-Southern Pacito merger. Hs con
clusion, however, is not final and today
tho attorney general began the examina
tion of a memorandum filed by tho
Southern Paclflo to show that It is not
necessary for the Southern Pacific tn
give up the Central Paclflo.
Former Attorney Oeneral Wickeriham
Insisted that the Southern Paclflo dis

of a suit under the Sbsrman law to ac

The final attitude of Attorney General
McReynolds on the question probably

of dissolving the Union Pacific and

Omaha nerves were badly wrenched
again Wednesday night about 6:34 o'clock
when a fierce electric storm, accompan
ied by a gate of wind, broke over the
city. The wind was gutty, the govern
ment gauge at the postofflce building at
no time recording a velocity of more
than ten miles an hour, white down along
the southern edge oi the city It attained
such furry as to cause many to think
that a repetition of the tornadlc disturb
ance of Easter Sunday was being
enacted. Unusually vivid lightning, with
accompanying crashes of thunder, and
the terrific downpour of rain gave a
spectacular effect to the storm that
might have been enjoyed by any whose
love for nature's grandeur nad not been
tempered by the racking experienoe of
the storm of Eanter.
From many sections of the southern
part of Omaha reports were had or
minor damage done by the wind, some of
the work being rather severe on the
property owners. Outbuildings and light
structures suffered most one' or two
houses were unroofed, and one house In
course of construction was blown' dowm
.I'VaUermt-n. Caught in IUrcr.
The Missouri river was a wjld' place'
when the wind was at Its height, and
several river men were caught on the
water in their skiffs. At police head
quarters, several reports came In to the
effect that a number of men were
drowned. Officers were sent out to
verify the reports, with the result that
each report was found false.
John Kohout, a fisherman, living at
First and Pierce streets, was missing
for a while and It was said he met death
In the river. Iate at night, he came
home, drenched to the akin. Ills boat
was upset by the waves, but he clung
to It until It finally lodged on a 'sandbar
on the Iowa side.
Fend Ttvlce a Victim.
John W, Fead, bond clerk In the, city
comptroller's office at the city hall ,ts
twice a victim of storms. Ills home and
chicken ranch at Forty-eighth and Cas
tellar was In the path of the destructive
tornado Easter Sunday and he lost nearly
everything ho possessed. He recovered
promptly, however, and the buildings
that he caused to rise from the ruins
were nearly completed when the high
wind of last evening struck. One barn
and saveral other outbuildings were re
duced to kindling. Over iKX) chickens
were In the barn and many of these were
killed and tho rest are now at large.
Other property In the vicinity of Forty
eighth and Castellar was damaged, the
extent of which could not be estimated

Injured then. She was visiting at the
Mahonoys oh 'Harney street and was

Others he accused .of having hackmon,
hotel porters and bell 'hops on their pay
roll at a nominal salary for "shovlne"
business their way. He made a motion
to appoint a committee of five to in
vestigate members of the profession ac
cused of employing fee splitting In their
practice. The motion was adopted. A
motion made to employ a private detec
tive to get the "goods" on the doctors
was lost by a slight majority.
Accnsrs Dr. Henry.
Dr. Fall, a member of the state board,
acoused Dr. Henry, one of the prime
movers in the antl-feo splitting agita
tion, of splitting fees wtth other doctors.
He cited a specific Instance in whloh two
other doctors brought a case to Dr.
Henry. The latter charged 6150 and gave
6100 to the other doctors.
Dr. Henry did not deny the charge, but
said he told his client that he had split
the fee with the other doctors.
Country physicians In attendance at th
convention nccused the Omaha doctors
of fostering the practice of fee splitting.
Dr. Fall said he has found it hard to
make a living because Omaha doctors
split fees. Omaha surgeons started this
nefarious practice and now they are try
ing to secure a remedy for It, he stated,
and that It would be Impossible to stop It.
